FantasyPros Staff· Sep 3“Javonte Williams (RB – DAL) A breakout that surprised even his believers, as Williams finished RB11 in points per game after most expectations topped out at a volume-driven RB2.”
FantasyPros Staff· Sep 3“” – Aaron St Denis ( Fantasy Sports Advice Network ) Javonte Williams (RB – DAL) “If I end up with a late pick, Javonte Williams is the running back I’m targeting when I get to Round 3. Last year, he was awesome in his first year with Dallas, racking up 1,338 total yards and scoring 13 touchdowns.”

“Javonte Williams is coming off a season with more than 1,200 rushing yards and is in a high-powered offense.”
Richard Janvrin· Aug 22“Round 5: Javonte Williams (RB – DAL) The Cowboys didn’t add any more depth to their running back room this offseason.”
Richard Janvrin· Aug 22“Javonte Williams (RB – DAL) Last year, Javonte Williams was a massive surprise in fantasy football to everyone, including me.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 22“Javonte Williams (RB – DAL) was actually the RB1 in fantasy points per game last year, yet he’s being drafted like a mid-tier RB2 this year.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 10“Round 5: DeVonta Smith (WR – PHI) Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams was staring me in the face, but with a FLEX spot still available in a PPR league, I couldn’t pass up DeVonta Smith .”
Richard Janvrin· Aug 5“Thus, I went with a fairly safe RB2 in Javonte Williams. Williams had a massive share of the running back carries last season and caught 35 passes. He’ll approach nearly 300 touches this season and is on a high-powered offense.”
Richard Janvrin· Aug 4“This, combined with the decent running game by Javonte Williams , makes taking them both at their current ADP a no-brainer.”
Maggie Thraen· Jul 25“Javonte Williams was highly efficient last season, but the Cowboys were often playing from behind, so he couldn’t get to his ceiling. This season, with a full year of Quinnen Williams , along with stud rookies Caleb Downs and Malachi Lawrence , the Cowboys should be much improved.”
Frank Ammirante· Jul 17“I'm genuinely high on Javonte Williams for redraft leagues this year. I think he's in line for a big season.”
Jim Moorman· Jul 6“Javonte Williams began his career as a 21 year-old rookie challenging Melvin Gordon. He was a textbook Left-Wing Slappy player. When he popped up in Dallas last year as the ostensible starter coming off two terribly inefficient seasons, he was clearly a Right-Wing Slappy success story. Now that he's secured the RB1 job and his ADP has shot up into the 3rd round, he's clearly retained his Right-Wing status but has fallen into the boomer quadrant.”
Jakob Sanderson· Jun 24“News out of OTAs suggests that Malik Davis is the RB2 on the depth chart behind Javonte Williams. While Williams had a great bounce-back season last year, he has struggled with injuries throughout his career.”
Edward DeLauter· Jun 23“Williams is far enough removed from his injuries to shed the injury-prone label and start believing in his talent and situation.”

FantasyPros Staff· Sep 3“Chase Brown . I’ve been high on him all offseason, and I think this is the year he makes the jump into that elite tier. He gives you everything I want in a league-winning RB: a three-down role, plenty of work in the passing game, and a spot in what should be one of the highest-scoring offenses in football.”
FantasyPros Staff· Sep 2“Chase Brown ( CIN) : ADP 13.6 | RB 8 After a quiet rookie season, Brown has turned into a fantasy star.”

“Roster Constructions to Consider at 1.12 Fantasy Football Draft Pick The back end of the draft board is a good place to double up on running backs, pairing either Jeanty or Saquon with the likes of Chase Brown or Kenneth Walker in the second round before adding a receiver like DeVonta Smith or Zay Flowers in the third round.”
Tom Strachan· Aug 31“The Bengals RB finished the year on an absolute heater, despite ceding touches/snaps to Samaje Perine. After a slow start in a Joe Burrow -less offense, Chase Brown finished as the RB7 in PPG from Week 7 onward (18.3).”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 29“This would have been a fantastic spot for Brock Bowers . I went with Chase Brown. He had 232 carries last season and caught 69 passes, combining for nearly 1,500 yards.”
Richard Janvrin· Aug 29“After a slow start in a Joe Burrow -less offense, Chase Brown finished as the RB7 in PPG from Week 7 onward (18.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 22“Let’s say you spend an early draft pick on Chase Brown .”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 22“Chase Brown (RB – CIN) Much like ARSB, Chase Brown finds himself in the perfect situation for the third consecutive year.”
Ellis Johnson· Aug 19“Last year, Chase Brown started slowly as the RB34 in fantasy points per game in Weeks 1-5. After that point, he was exactly who fantasy gamers thought they were drafting as the RB6 in fantasy points per game.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 15“I don’t think any other running back is set up as well as Chase Brown is this season. The London, Ontario native is primed for his third straight top-12 season.”
Ellis Johnson· Aug 11“Chase Brown (RB – CIN) has real top-three overall ceiling that isn’t being discussed enough.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 10“Chase Brown is expected to play an important role in a highly functioning offense that could finish as one of the top-scoring teams in 2026. Brown is a pass-catching back who adds a vast amount of value due to his high reception rate, and dual threat in regards to touchdowns (11 total) . The running back for the Bengals caught 69 receptions for 437 yards.”
Steve Krebs· Aug 8“For example, fantasy players would need to use four of their first five or six picks to build a Cincinnati Bengals stack of Ja’Marr Chase , Chase Brown , Tee Higgins , and Joe Burrow”
Mike Fanelli· Aug 6“Repeat Seasons It should be more of the same for James Cook and Chase Brown , who saw little change in their offenses this offseason.”
